Costa Rica Lawyer inquiry.

[yann]

Does someone have records on the following Lawyers :

-1- Bufete Montero and Asoc, located in San Jose.

Licenciado Alejandro Montero Vargas.

-2- Lang and Asociados, located in Santa Ana.

Reports of this kind should be availlable to anyone seeking a lawyer in order to avoid crooks.

Thanks for some help.

All most all attorneys in CR have no idea of the word fiduciary, which means they are there to act in your best interest. They are not. Most Tico attorneys do not like Gringos. Simple as that. Some will tolerate you, but that does not mean they like you. Occasionally you will find one that is not prejudiced.

I’d go with a US consultant that has atorneys on retainer. Depends what your doing, really. If its important – that is if there is money involved.. You better make sure you understand what you are signing and have a contract regarding fees.

Also get ready to be kicked to the back of the bus if you pay all your fees up front. The only way to get service in CR is to withhold a large payment untill the work is COMPLETE. Otherwise you have no leverage and it gets bumpy back there.

You might want to see my article about ‘Costa Rica Attorney Black List’ at and in that article you will find the links to the attorneys association where you can search and see if a specific attorney has had problems
